An MVP-worthy background job server for PostgreSQL, written in Rust
A simple background job server (database) on top of PostgreSQL, that can be used in any language and any environment.
Warning
this is obviously experimental, but it's for another project I'm working on on so... this is why issues are closed. feel free to @ or DM me at Twitter if you want to chat.
🪶 Lightweight: Pointguard is a single binary with no dependencies, written in Rust. The Docker image is so small it feels illegal to add it to your stack.
🔗 HTTP based: Jobs are invoked through HTTP calls, so you can keep using your favorite language and environment: Next.js, Remix, Rust, Go -- whether your app is serverless or containerized. HTTP is the only boundary needed!
📝 Open API: Pointguard exposes a well-documented OpenAPI-compatible HTTP API, so you can use it from any language or environment. So you can implement a client super easy.
⏰ Delayed Jobs: Pointguard supports delayed jobs, so you can schedule jobs to run in the future.
🔁 Retries: Pointguard will retry your jobs if they fail, so you can be sure your jobs will run.
💻 Admin UI: Pointguard comes with an admin UI, so you can see the status of your jobs.
